Who we are ?
We know that accountants don‘t have the most exciting image...but we’re genuinely passionate about what we do. We don‘t just provide services; we build lasting relationships that make a real difference to our clients, providing trusted advice and proactive management of your finances.
ACCOUNTANCY

Size isn’t everything. Service is. Our clients come from all walks of life.
We work with long established family offices and advise a host of enterprises ranging from start-ups to large corporate clients (..many that you will have heard of!).

We focus on providing proactive rather than reactive advice, becoming a trusted advisor to the business.
Having initially trained at a 3 partner firm in North London, I can’t quite believe I have clocked up nearly twenty years of experience in the accountancy profession and over that time have built a wealth of commercial experience in advising a wide array of clients on general business, accounting and taxation issues, specialising in audit. After an aggressive career path, culminating in holding senior positions at a leading Top 10 Accountancy firm and other established independent firms in the city, I developed as an all- round general practitioner, and co-founded Richmond Gatehouse with a clear vision of redefining the accountancy sector, and bringing a high quality accountancy practice to market.
The team and client base continues to expand, and I thoroughly enjoy my role as a business advisor to a variety of companies and individuals ranging from owner managed businesses to large corporate structures with international subsidiaries. I develop a detailed understanding of my clients businesses to spot the tax and business efficiency issues, and provide relevant and timely advice that assist the owner managers in their decision making process.
The business sectors where my expertise has the most depth are construction, property, food and drink, and the medical sector.
Away from the excitement of growing the business, I live in Essex with my wife and children. I enjoy my football and cricket, and the gym. Following a sustained period of rigorous training, I completed my first 12K obstacle race in 2014, and I am now in training for the Tough Mudder in 2015.

Our Services
Statutory Compliance
Preparation of Statutory Accounts is at the heart of our scope of services. Whether it is from the Company's source documents or their in-house trial balance, we will prepare and submit at Companies House.
Corporation Tax
We will work with our clients to ensure their Corporation Tax strategy is at its most efficient. From complex group structuring to capital allowance maximisation, we will ensure our clients are not paying more than absolutely necessary.
VAT
Preparation and submission of VAT returns. Fundamentally we will advise from the bottom up; Is VAT something you need to be concerned with? What is your applicable VAT rate? Moving on from that we also specialise in advising on beneficial VAT schemes e.g. flat-rate, Group VAT registrations and Property VAT.
Payroll
We pride ourselves on providing a seamless outsourced Payroll service for our clients. This includes: assistance with timesheet design, calculation of employee and employer liabilities, production and delivery of (customised) Payslips & Real-Time (RTI) compliance.
Company Secretary
As part of our all encompassing service we will manage the annual Companies House reporting (Annual Return) but also act as a point of contact to make any adjustments to the Company's statutory records e.g. Appointment of New Directors.

Our team are well versed with tax investigations spanning the spectrum of taxes. With a particular proficiency in managing Personal Tax, VAT and Payroll enquiries.
Personal Tax
We will happily prepare the Self Assessment Tax returns for our owner managers to provide a continuous service across the requirements. RG also specialise in preparing more complex returns for Executives, Property portfolios (inc. Non-Resident Landlord) and High Net Worth individuals.
XERO Implementation and training
We believe it‘s the way forward. We will encourage all our clients to embrace it and utilise its full potential. With that, we are always on hand to provide support.
Outsource Finance Department
Finance Departments for a Small-Medium sized business are a luxury that few can afford or sustain - this doesn't make them any less necessary! Allow us to build an offering that can take the burden away for a fraction of the cost.
External FD
Utilising our external Financial Director in conjunction with our other Management tools will almost always be more cost effective than hiring an equivalent full time FD. Our team have the benefit of experience, an invaluable set of lessons they've learnt through their Portfolios and the absolute desire to assist you in your success.
Management Reporting
Management Reporting is at the core of what we believe all businesses in the modern era should be aspiring to. It is our goal to ensure our clients encapsulate the reporting provided by us into their decision making process.
